Duplicate Websites - Only one ranking
-
Hello Everyone,
I have a client that has 2 website, that have the same content, with he same phone numbers and contact details. However, there are a few different that we want to do for both.
1. mywebsitevan.com (
- Has Google Places (and they don't want to lose this listing, as it is a main reason why they are surviving.
- not rank organically
mywebsitevancouver.com
- ranked organically- No Google Place listings.
- This is the actual branding of the company
What is the best way to make this work with google, so that we have both websites, and without losing the google places listings.
- Do add any tags? Rel=?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks guys!

Exactly what EGOL said - write new content for the non-Places site so that they aren't duplicates. Also, don't forget to keep pushing the main branded site and get it going. Once organic is carrying the load, change the Places domain and get even more traffic from that.

Write all new content for the site that does not have organic rankings.

What's the best way to identify duplicate listings?
I'm doing manual duplicate research for an account and wanted to know if anyone had a resource to share on how to find duplicate listings for GMB and other citations. https://searchengineland.com/definitive-guide-duplicate-research-local-seo-238719 Ive been working off of this article from Joy Hawkins, but she mentions using Map Maker to search a phone number, but Google has since shut Map Maker down. Maps doesn't seem to work the same way, as I've searched a phone number which I know has duplicate listings and they don't come up. Any tips on a better tool or process?

Google Local Result- Competitor Ranks without an Address. Why is this happening?
My client is in a fairly competitive local market and there is a competitor who has ranked locally for around 2 years, but they have no actual address on their Google business listing. Just city and state. The listing is always top three and it does have their website listed, but directions aren't even available as there is actual no address. The listing is extremely keyword dense (basically spam but they actually created a business with the spam name). Citation Example: Keyword dense business name, phone number, city and state only Have you seen this? Can you explain why this is happening? Is this against the rules/anything I can do? Thanks!

Do business citations (without links) on penalised website have a negative effect?
Hi there I've been doing some research into directory sites that my clients are listed on and noticed that some appear to have flat-lined in organic search traffic indicating a penalty. I would like to know if clients with business citations on these penalised websites (without links to clients websites) will be having a negative effect on SEO? Thanks
